Root resorption caused by osteoma growth

introduction. Osteoma is a benign and asymptomatic neoplasm, consisting of well-differentiated mature bone. The solitary osteoma may be classified as: peripheral when arising from the periosteum, central when arising from the endosteum and extraskeletal when arising in soft tissue. The etiology of osteoma is still unclear. Some reported cas- es did have a clear history of trauma; however, this was not the case in the majority of cases. Whereas peripheral osteomas are fairly easy to diagnose, central osteomas pose a more challenging diagnostic problem and need to be differentiated from other similar lesions of the jaws, such as central ossifying fibroma, osteoblastoma, cementoblas- toma and …

Osteonecrosis of the jaw after long-term oral bisphosphonates, followed by short-term denosumab treatment for osteoporosis: a case report

Bisphosphonates and denosumab are antiresoptive agents and are mainly used for management of metastatic bone cancer, osteoporosis and other diseases. Bisphosphonates (BP) can reduce skeletal related events (SRE) by 30–50%1; denosumab (D) has been found even more effective than BP2. BP and D have been both associated to osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). We report a case of an osteoporotic woman (62 yrs), complaining maxillary intense pain after a recent tooth molar extraction, observed in July 2013 at our centre. She mentioned previous treatments with monthly ibandronate (Bonviva ® 150 mg) per os (from January 2003 to April 2010), risedronate (35 mg weekly, from May 2010 to May 2012) and two a…

Occurrence of oro-facial malformations in a tertiary center hospital of Southern Italy: retrospective study on ten thousand newborns

Congenital anomalies (CA) are one of the major cause of infant mortality and childhood morbitity, affecting 2-3% of all babies. Approximately 1% of these newborns have syndromes or multiple anomalies; Cranio-facial anomalies are often a component part of these pathologies. Several newborns with cranio-facial anomalies are affected by syndromes composed of multiple malformations thought to be etiologically and/ or pathogenetically related. One of the most frequent sign of these syndromes is the cleft lip and/or cleft palate. It is estimated that 30% of cleft cases are syndromic and conversely, therefore, approximately 70% are non-syndromic. Oral clefts are among the most widely known and com…
